Customer Aids

1. Operating system runs self diagnostic prior to vending and will not vend a compartment with an error code (stuck door, locking sensor inop, no Cylinder detected, proximity sensor inop)
2. If customer accidentally shuts door before removing Cylinder, door reopens and will continue to reopen until cylinder is removed
3. If customer fails to return cylinder or close door User interface prompts with the error
4. ADA button for mid and lower compartment sales
5. Clear simple instructions
6. Cylinder will only fit back into the compartment in the upright position and the compartment is sized so that when the door is closed the cylinder will be in the proper place for sensor to detect
7. Customer never knows if there are compartments that are not operable and the machine will continue to vend until all working compartments are vended

Anti-Theft

1. Individual compartments with individual locks require large investment of time and effort to defeat
2. The compartments are sized so that if the expanded metal on the door or side of the compartment is cut away, the cylinder will not fit through the compartment frame
3. The locks have more than 1200 lbs holding strength
4. If someone decides to put a ferrous object in the compartment other than the empty cylinder, their credit card information is already stored so any more than one attempt will easily identify the thief
